To make:

2. To make French seams, pin pieces together with wrong sides of fabric together first and stitch, taking 1cm seam allowances.

3. Trim seam allowances to 3mm and press to one side. Fold with right sides of fabric together and seam rolled to edge of fold.

4. Pin and stitch, taking 6mm seam allowances. Press to one side. Turn under and stitch a narrow hem around outer edge.
